I'm a computer programmer. I code hospital software. People can die if I screw up. That's why I have no tolerance for all the whining. It's a game. No one is going to die.

does their opinion count? :rolleyes:

TBH, I can't see the proof of this, apart from the fact that correspondence hasn't increased.

How much more proof do you need?

this poll reminded me of this:

i bet you one million internetz at a toss of a coin:

heads i win

tails you lose

toss the coin and give me the internets if you lose :-P

Our customers don't spend all their time whining about how we don't respect them. :rolleyes:

My point is that that is the only proof the devs don't listen to the community. In short, they choose to follow whatever path they think will help their development scheme. Clearly they don't have the time to monitor the forum as we would want, however it would ease a lot of tension and help us to understand their status a lot better (it wouldn't take long to post a proper development update, as I have shown elsewhere)

No, it wouldn't. Have you seen my summary of the progress report process? It always ends with people complaining that Luthier does not respect them. Lots of info, or very little info, the result is the same. It's actually quite humorous.

You're a programmer, good for you!

I'm a system architect.

You can bet your last byte I moan when developers miss their milestones.

And should I come to think they're losing respect for their contractual obligations, we have a whole legal department eager to remind them.

Still, now you know how to satisfy your clients next time you screw up. Just send them a home made music video, they're sure to see the funny side.

it's a known fact that Luthier's sarcasm is often out of place. He can't take criticisms, IMHO he's worse than Oleg in this aspect.

I quoted before his corrected bugslist where he was doing sarcastic comments on the accuracy of stuff, a professional should refrain from doing it.

Again, this is my opinion and has little or nothing to do with the sim, but kinda tells a lot about the current issue with situation updates.
